Kermit Schafer (of all those “Bloopers” records) produced this “album of hilarious 19th hole golf humor”     GOLF-O-RAMA Vol. 1 (Dedicated to the PGA – “Poor Golfers Association”).   A nice cover and illustration from the fifties.

Lee Wiley

Two rare Lee Wiley 78’s on Schirmer from Vintage Vanguard. Wiley was the first singer to do songbook albums. I’ve always liked her version of “Careless Love,” but she’s was always good. A later Lp “West of the Moon” (1956) is worth finding.

Santa Claus is a black man

A great little party Christmas album from Jimmy Pelham — recorded in a style that’s somewhere between that of early Redd Foxx, and later work by Blowfly! Jimmy’s talking and singing throughout — telling some off-color stories and mixing in song parodies — all before a very enthusiastic audience!
